It is a genuine leather plate stamped with Gucci logo.
Tiramisu (Yen 1,500) topped with chocolate powder is very creamy and rich in cheese flavor. Its size is large enough to be a member in an elegant afternoon tea. It is the signature dessert in Gucci.
Panna Cotta (Yen 1,500) is not very strong in milk taste. The black spots are vanilla seeds. We specially order items with completely different flavors. I personally prefer the Tiramisu a bit more.
Latte Mochiato and Orange Juice (Italian red orange) are both of high quality and contained in artistic glasses.
Gucci Cafe is idiosyncratic and quite spacious. Interior color combination gives me a comfortable high-end feeling.

Remarks: Servers (waitress and waiter) are of model-typed figure and delicate outline.
I admit I yearn for vanity. If not, we would not visit Gucci Café this time. Apart from yearning for vanity, we do have curiosity to experience an afternoon tea in the café of a prestigious brand in the world. The Café is not a very large one, but there is sufficient space among tables. It gives us a comfortable high-end impression.
When we enter Gucci building in Ginza, we are hospitably welcomed. The servers have never overdone. Maybe we are in Gucci Café, the diners would speak elegantly in a low volume. It is not within our expectation that the diners do not only confine to OL. There are gentlemen and old ladies as well in the afternoon we visit.
We order drinks and desserts, the bill is Yen 4,500 (average per head Yen 2,250 or HK$165, rate 0.0735). It goes without saying that dessert and drink are from food materials of very high quality. Together with the aristocratic ambience, we really savor our selection and the experience we have this afternoon.
